The Patent Dragon's Zone of Soul Retraction

Sunday comes along, and so does the uploading slot for another Minecraft video...



In the meantime, Season 2 is getting pretty wild. All kinds of crazy crap ensues almost every recording session - and without ANY pre-construction. I haven't built any landmarks, or story-related structures - there just aren't any! Aaaah, the delights of free-form chaos...

Okay - now that's done, it's time for some *gulp* Christmas shopping...


...if the damn site will L O A D before the big day.

Update... So much for my good intentions. The website in question flatly refused to respond, and may just have cost themselves a considerable sale.

Sorry about that break - and the absence of a proper Gravity review - but I've been very busy on one particular project. Not only have I patched Minecraft up to its most up-to-date mod-supporting form, but...

...I am actually recording Season 2. Or, as it should more properly be called: The Stargazer Project - Phase 2: Embrace The Madness. Barely two days in, and things are officially INSANE.

Coming soon to a YouTube near you!

Yesterday...



...and today...



- a series that has now officially got a conclusion, as I have finally completed the "season finale" this very weekend. I really have to make an effort to stick to that regime of two Stargazer videos a week, and clear the way for Season 2 - before I exhaust the potential of the mods I'm also using in my interim world. I may have to introduce something new to keep things... interesting.

Next weekend, I suppose I should record the completion of my DUNGEON MASTER play-through... which will probably be the next time I get round to blogging, at my current rate... ;-)

It's video time again - and not all my own!

First DUNGEON MASTER...



...followed by a dose of Minecraft, ...Stargazer-style...



...and finally - hey, Mom, I'm famous!



I'm very seriously considering posting ...Stargazer vids on Wednesday as well, to get through my early recordings a bit more quickly. Season 2 pre-production is going VERY well so far, and I could be recording some time VERY soon!

Three days to IRON MAN 3. Pity I have to book it for another town, and take a day off to get the maximum experience.

Oh well...

Meanwhile... I'm stumbling around trying to set the stage for Season 2 of my as-yet unreleased Minecraft videos. I'm going for more of an adventure theme, creating a new world and incorporating a biiiiiig dungeon into it, and quite a bit of work is going to be needed to set things up for what I plan to do. Most notably, there's a room in the dungeon that, whilst it was randomly generated, it kinda messes with the planned storyline, and therefore must, absolutely must be destroyed in a MAJOR set-piece stunt - and I'll have just one shot at making it happen. I have got a mock-up for explosives testing all set up... but now I need to make enough TNT to do both the test AND the real deal. It's not going to be easy, 'cause the "big bang" has to both destroy the room's contents, and NOT blow up the star as well!

More news as it develops!

Now, about that cinema ticket...
